How is open enrollment going at your Company? If you are responsible for Health & Welfare benefits, you may think your job is (almost) done. But, don't forget that a person with authority at your Company needs to officially adopt all of the changes you are making in order for those changes to be valid. There are a few ways to do this- amending your plan document and/or your summary plan description, drafting a summary of material modifications, or simply creating a resolution that the individual with authority can sign, indicating that all changes described in open enrollment materials have been adopted. So, you have options- choose one of them! Questions? DM. Thoughts? Comment here! #ERISA #Compliance #OpenEnrollment

Just a reminder as you enter open enrollment and the renewal period to update your plan documents to reflect any changes made in your benefits programs.

In a world where competition is fierce, and choices are abundant, it makes sense that the businesses prioritizing what matters to their clients are the ones that stand out. We continually ask ourselves: Are we truly aligned with what matters to our clients? Client-centricity is not a one-time commitment but an ongoing journey. It involves consistently demonstrating through your actions and decisions that you're invested in your client's welfare. #ClientCentricity #CustomerSuccess #BusinessRelationships #BusinessSuccess

When the employee benefits chapter is written for 2023, it might be titled “Fiduciary Beware.” While little attention has been paid to welfare plan fiduciary responsibility in the past, the tides are changing. New laws, regulations and court decisions all point to the importance of minding your fiduciary Ps and Qs.

The innovation in employee benefits continues to grow and evolve and employers are thinking outside the benefit norms in an effort to provide quality, appealing benefit offerings while also being mindful of the rapidly increasing cost of healthcare. Join myself and my ERISA friends, Laura Bibb and Joel Cochran, as we discuss compliance considerations that come into play with some of the new(er) and innovative strategies in the benefit space. #erisa
